About DeAngelis Insurance
DeAngelis Insurance, Inc. is a family-owned, independent insurance agency in Stow, Ohio.
Founded in 2006 by Amy and Larry DeAngelis, we advise, coordinate and write personal, business and life insurance through many high-quality, respected insurance providers. Since we are not restricted to products and pricing of a single carrier, we are able to shop for home, auto, business and life insurance products from many companies. That’s how we find the best combination of price and personalized coverage that suits your needs.
We carry the collective history of locally owned agencies that have served communities throughout northeast Ohio for more than 50 years, now all under the umbrella of DeAngelis Insurance, Inc. Amy and Larry purchased their first agency, then called The Austin Agency, in Austintown, Ohio in 2006. The Austin Agency was known for outstanding independent service to the Youngstown area since Emil Sill founded it in 1972, and this tradition carried through new owners Jim Johnson and his daughter, Mary Beth Sammartino. We opened an office in our hometown of Stow, OH the following year. Over the years, Amy and Larry continued to grow their business. In 2009, Ken Kotarski’s Northfield agency, The Insurance Shop, joined the DeAngelis Insurance family. Then, in 2020, DeAngelis Insurance acquired Ridgway and Associates Insurance of Hudson, formerly owned by Virgil Ridgway and Kevin Waldron. All these previous owners have established an excellent reputation serving customers throughout Northeast Ohio. We are proud to continue their legacy today.
DeAngelis Insurance has had offices in Austintown, Northfield, and Hudson, as well as two different locations in Stow in the past. In 2022 we made the decision to buy a building at 5011 Fishcreek Road in Stow, and consolidate all of our locations into one office. With innovative technology and dedicated employees, we are happy to continue serving our customers across the region.
Who we are is reflected in our company’s values.
DeAngelis Insurance is…
Straightforward:
We don’t believe in surprises or hidden meanings. We talk you through everything, so you’re clued in at every step.
Trusted:
Designations and licenses are great (and we have them), but honesty, integrity and clarity are also at the center of all of our interactions, so you have the peace of mind you need.
Attentive:
Your questions need answers right away. That’s why we strive to be on your time, by listening to you and being there for you when you need us.
Experienced:
We have spent our entire working careers working in home, auto, life and business insurance. That’s not the end of it, though — we continue to educate ourselves on the latest trends, laws and information so we can deliver our best recommendations to you.
Focused on the Individual Customer:
We tailor insurance coverage to each individual customer based on your needs and budget. We choose the best insurance companies to work with to meet your expectations; we don’t sell on price alone.
Family-Oriented:
As a family-owned and operated business, we extend that warmth to our customers, and treat you as a part of our family. We counsel you on what you need and why you need it, and we have your best interest in mind at all times.

Amy L. DeAngelis, CIC, CRM
Married to Larry, mother of five, grandmother to twelve (and counting), I love and value my family above all else. I’ve been in the insurance industry since 1972, working in commercial insurance and then in marketing. Starting DeAngelis Insurance Inc. was a dream come true, and I’m so grateful to be able to help people every day. I love to read, cook, travel, hike and spend as much time as possible with my family.
Larry DeAngelis
I’ve been in insurance since 1977, having worked in underwriting and management for large national insurance companies for much of my career. Amy and I have lived in Stow for more than 30 years and started our family business in 2006. I enjoy sports, but my real passion has always been adventures with our five kids, twelve grandchildren and now two dogs.

I started in the insurance industry in 2002 and worked for a couple of other insurance agencies before we opened the DeAngelis Insurance office in Stow in 2007. I’m an avid Cleveland sports and Ohio State fan. I enjoy golfing, baseball and when people call me to help them with their insurance.

I am the father of 5 wonderful children. I grew up in Stow and am a SMFHS graduate from the class of 2000. My wife, Nicole, and I now make our home in North Canton. Prior to joining my family business in 2020, I had a banking career and had my own Allstate agency. Being an Independent Insurance Agent is great because I have options to serve our customers. It is very rewarding finding the best insurance coverage and price for people. I enjoy golf, baseball and football. My spare time is spent with my family.

I have been in insurance since 2000 working for several agencies prior to joining DeAngelis Insurance in 2024. I love camping, and traveling, being outdoors and getting together with family and friends. When I can help a customer understand their coverage and answer any questions they have it makes me happy!

(Not Tom’s Katie) Grew up in Kent, Oh and graduated from Kent Theodore Roosevelt High School in 2015. Moved to Stow and started in the insurance industry in my family business in 2019. Took over the family business, Angle Insurance, in 2020 after my Mom’s passing and then sold it in 2022. After working at an agency in Kent, I joined DeAngelis Insurance in 2024. Being able to explain to people of my generation the importance of insurance and how to best protect their family and their financial future is very rewarding.
What People Say On Google
I have been a customer of DeAngelis insurance for years now. Tom and his staff have always been nothing but prompt, courteous and professional whenever I needed assistance or have a question. Navigating insurance as a single dad with teenagers has been a walk in the park with all their help.
I don’t just consider Tom my insurance agent but a great friend as well and a great supporter of the Stow community.
